Open OpportunitiesDrying (e.g. Pasta drying) is the most energy intensive process step, sometimes taking up more than 50% of the total energy consumption of a plant. Superheated steam drying could present an energy efficient alternative to classical hot-air drying systems used today. This new technology could have a massive impact on the carbon-footprint and sustainability of food-drying; making it a highly future-oriented and potentially impactful innovation. - Interdisciplinary Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| Roundwood is sorted by quality and species in the forestry (and in sawmills). Based on the dataset with images of roundwood (from partner sawmill³) containing quality and species labels, a classification model has been developed for predicting the species and the quality of a stem based on the image of its cross-section. The detailed description of the model architecture and the results can be found in the paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0957417423036217. The task of the project is to
develop an iOS or Android App that based on the model results.

| Global Health Engineering is a group composed of environmental and mechanical engineers, economists and social scientists. Our work is transdisciplinary and all research focuses on engineering aspects of environmental and human health in resource-constrained countries. We look for a student research assistant to continue developing (hardware+software) the low-cost sensors for biogas composition and flow measurements, as well as program other tasks, e.g., web scraping for scientific grant management. - Electrical Engineering, Environmental Technologies, Mechanical Engineering

| We currently want to (i) elaborate the added value of a campus board that records the forces per limb, (ii) determine grasping phases for kinematic analyses of the phalanges more pragmatically than with 6DoF sensors, and (iii) drive forward a competition analysis based purely on video material. - Biomedical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science

| Estimating human poses within global trajectories is critical for applications such as augmented reality and sports analytics, yet it often demands precisely calibrated cameras and significant computational efforts. With advancements in deep learning and pose estimation technologies, various models can be trained using 2D or 3D motion data. However, effectively integrating these models to predict and analyze human movement trajectories in a continuous and dynamic environment remains challenging. This project aims to create a robust system that estimates and predicts human poses accurately, facilitating advancements in dynamic pose analysis and real-world applications. - Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Reaching and grasping an object of interest is a relatively simple
task that can be achieved robustly in case the object is equipped
with a simple handle and a visual marker. However, often the difficulty in the task originates from the rest of the environment.
The object may be placed in cluttered spaces with diverse obstacles
as well as dynamic entities, e.g. humans, other robots. As a result,
executing the task of reaching and grasping the object necessitates
collision-free motion control capabilities. - Intelligent Robotics, Robotics and Mechatronics

| The ETH spin-off MYNERVA is pioneering the development of a smart neurostimulation sock aimed at alleviating symptoms associated with neuropathic diseases of the lower limb, such as those caused by diabetic neuropathy. Through targeted transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) of the nerves innervating the foot, MYNERVA reduces neuropathic pain and restores sensory perception below the foot in affected individuals, improving gait and balance.

| The process of evaluating sleep examinations and diagnosing sleep disorders through polysomnographies (PSGs) is labor-intensive as it requires manual analysis from sleep technicians and doctors. In collaboration with Clinic Barmelweid, a leading sleep and rehabilitation clinic in northwestern Switzerland, we plan to automate this process using machine learning models. Clinic Barmelweid conducts approximately 400-450 PSGs annually and has access to a dataset of more than 5,000 recordings. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Biomedical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| Durch die Verdichtung der Strömung in einem Radialverdichter wird nicht nur deren Druck, sondern auch deren Temperatur gemäss den thermodynamischen Grundlagen erhöht. Die Strömungstemperatur wechselwirkt mit der Impeller-Temperatur, sodass Wärmeflüsse in und aus dem Impeller sich einstellen. Da die oftmals verwendeten Aluminium-Legierungen des Impellers eine starke Temperatur-Abhängigkeit aufweisen, ist eine sorgfältige Analyse zur Festigkeitsbewertung essentiell.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen die Wärmeflüsse zwischen Strömung, Radrückraum, Impeller und Rotor mit unterschiedlichen Ansätzen simulativ erfasst und bewertet werden. Die Arbeit startet dabei mit einer Literatur-Recherche und einer Darstellung des Standes der Technik. Am Beispiel einer Radialverdichterstufe soll anschliessend sowohl auf Basis von einfachen 0D/1D Modellen wie auch Strömungssimulationen mit Ansys CFX die thermische Situation analysiert werden. Die Ergebnisse sind anschliessend zu dokumentieren. Die Arbeit wird bei der ETH Spin-Off Firma CELEROTON in Volketswil durchgeführt. - Electrical Engineering
